Action was heads up with over 1,000,000 in the middle and K♦9♦2♣ on the board when Michael Chilton bet 400,000 and Michael Esquivel called.
The turn was J♦ and Chilton shoved without hestitation. Ezquivel went deep into the tank for several minutes until he threw it away when he deduced that he was up against pocket aces.
Chilton took the pot and seemed to confirm Ezquivel's suspicions.
